so i looked at the FOC figs and saw their name tags. it says on Brawl's: Avail: Oct '12. Jazz: Aug '12 Shockwave: Aug '12 OP: Aug '12 rest of combaticons: Oct '12 (don't know if anyone else has noticed this or if their release dates have already been given) EDIT: they're also gonna be $14.99. really hasbro? really?
And yet BBTS says May for the first wave. They'll probably start in June. Edit: and it's not new information. It's been discussed in the other thread..
*sigh* at the end of the day it's $3 extra bucks...$9 if you get all 3, if you can't afford $9 extra dollars. then you're in the wrong hobby.
Note : Don't take the dates on the botcon cards as gospel. The vehicon card in the display, says it comes out in june. Also : The 14.99 is suggested retail price; also not gospel. Store prices will vary, as always.
Wal-Mart's prices will probably be more like $13.99, and TRU's could be as high as $15.99 or even $16.99.
Great, I can ONLY get transformers now when they are on sale. $20 per figure is just too much. And worse, zellars has them for $25. We all had a good laugh about that, but what if they are prophets?
And Starscream's evidently Spring 2013. That's oddly spaced out. More time to save up for them, I guess.
Is this a contest? If so, in Sweden a deluxe Transformer goes for around 33$! I win! (or lose I guess).
Man it's getting to the point where price needs to be one of those banned issues, like politics, that can't be discussed on the board
Stores jacked up the price on every other figure line though; G.I Joes are now $9, Marvel Universe is $9, Target put their DC figures at almost $20. I definitely see at least Target going for $15. In fact, hey, they've already been experimenting with the price: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...77420-did-target-raise-their-dotm-prices.html
